Pastor is known as a man who leads by example. He's drawing on the words of God and his walk with Christ to guide our church into the future. He's focused on carrying out every part of the Great Commission, i.e. (1) leading people into a personal relationship with Christ, (2) baptizing them into our church and (3) teaching the entire Bible.
